4config XEN_BALLOON
5	bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
6	default y
7	help
8	  The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
9	  the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
10	  return unneeded memory to the system.

12config XEN_SELFBALLOONING
13	bool "Dynamically self-balloon kernel memory to target"
14	depends on XEN && XEN_BALLOON && CLEANCACHE && SWAP && XEN_TMEM
15	default n
16	help
17	  Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
18	  by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
19	  controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters.  Configuring
20	  FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
21	  ballooning is disabled by default. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
22	  frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
23	  with the 'tmem.selfshrink=0' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
24	  is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'tmem.selfballooning=0'
25	  kernel boot parameter.  Note that systems without a sufficiently
26	  large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.

28config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
29	bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver"
30	default n
31	depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
32	help
33	  Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
34	  available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
35	  It is very useful on critical systems which require long
36	  run without rebooting.
37
38	  Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
39
40	    1) target domain: ensure that memory auto online policy is in
41	       effect by checking /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
42	       file (should be 'online').
43
44	    2) control domain: xl mem-max <target-domain> <maxmem>
45	       where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
46
47	    3) control domain: xl mem-set <target-domain> <memory>
48	       where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
49	       could be added by writing proper value to
50	       /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
51	       /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on the
52	       target domain.
53
54	  Alternatively, if memory auto onlining was not requested at step 1
55	  the newly added memory can be manually onlined in the target domain
56	  by doing the following:
57
58		for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
59		  [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
60
61	  or by adding the following line to udev rules:
62
63	  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"

69	range 0 64 if X86_32
70	depends on XEN_HAVE_PVMMU
71	depends on XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
72	help
73	  Maxmium amount of memory (in GiB) that a PV guest can be
74	  expanded to when using memory hotplug.
75
76	  A PV guest can have more memory than this limit if is
77	  started with a larger maximum.
78
79	  This value is used to allocate enough space in internal
80	  tables needed for physical memory administration.
81
82config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
83	bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
84	depends on XEN_BALLOON
85	default y
86	help
87	  Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
88	  other domains.  This makes sure that any confidential data
89	  is not accidentally visible to other domains.  Is it more
90	  secure, but slightly less efficient.
91	  If in doubt, say yes.
92
93config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN
94	tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
95	default y
96	help
97	  The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to trigger event
98	  channels and to receive notification of an event channel
99	  firing.
100	  If in doubt, say yes.
101
102config XEN_BACKEND

110config XENFS

113	default y
114	help
115	  The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
116	  information with each other and with the hypervisor.
117	  For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
118	  may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
119	  If in doubt, say yes.

123       depends on XENFS
124       default y
125       help
126         The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
127         under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
128         xenfs filesystem.  Selecting this causes the kernel to create
129         the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
130         a xen platform.
131         If in doubt, say yes.

177	tristate "Xen PCI-device backend driver"
178	depends on PCI && X86 && XEN
179	depends on XEN_BACKEND
180	default m
181	help
182	  The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
183	  PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
184	  will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
185	  you want to make visible to other guests.
186
187	  The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
188	  devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
189	  PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
190	  the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
191
192	  The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
193	  into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
194	  from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
195	  xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
196
197	  If in doubt, say m.

278	  To do that the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads
279	  said information to the Xen hypervisor. Then the Xen hypervisor can
280	  select the proper Cx and Pxx states. It also registers itself as the
281	  SMM so that other drivers (such as ACPI cpufreq scaling driver) will
282	  not load.
